0712291 Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The Phoenix Contact 0712291 is a thermal circuit breaker from the CLIPLINE series, offering a compact design and a resettable ON/OFF switch for increased system availability. It is rated for a nominal current of 8A and operates at 250V AC or 65V DC.

 

This circuit breaker is designed to plug into UK 6-FSI/C fuse base terminal blocks with screw connections or ST 4-FSI/C terminals with spring-cage connections. Potential distribution can be conveniently implemented using bridges for both terminal block types.

 

Key technical specifications include an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C, an interrupting capacity of 6x IN for nominal currents up to 4A and 8x IN for nominal currents from 6A to 10A, and a service life of up to 3000 cycles at 1x IN inductive load.

 

The device has a rated surge voltage of 2.5 kV, contamination class 2, and surge voltage category III. The insulating material is PA, with an inflammability class of V0 in accordance with UL 94. It is suitable for mounting on a holder.
